Very strongly agree

No, and I believe a mother and father family structure is best for the child

Central to localist thought, particularly in agrarian or Burkean traditions, is the belief that the traditional mother-and-father family is the essential 'little platoon' or fundamental unit of a stable, self-governing local community.
